Cultivation, but with Robots

Yuan Ai had no spiritual roots or cultivation, yet he was the only son of the greatest cultivator in the world. Then one day, his Immortal Venerable father ascended, leaving everything behind for him. From that day on, people started looking at Yuan Ai differently. Everyone wanted to get their hands on the treasures his father had left behind, cultivation methods never before revealed to the world, and even the legendary [Treasure of Ascension]. Flattery, inducements, threats, deception... Every last one of them wanted to rush in, take a big bite, and claim their share. Everyone thought a little white rabbit like Yuan Ai wouldn’t last long surrounded by a pack of wolves. Yuan Ai, however, was thinking about a much more important question. Before leaving, his father had told him to hurry up and figure out how to ascend, or he would be bored. But he was an S-Class all-purpose robot. How was he supposed to ascend? Should he aim a superluminal magnetic cannon at the sky? * Everyone was waiting to see whose hands the treasures Yuan Ai had inherited would end up in. Then they saw Yuan Ai pull out a white cube. The cultivation world: What’s that? Yuan Ai: A vending machine. Everyone: ??? Then they saw him pull out a large silver hat. The cultivation world: What’s that one? Yuan Ai: A flying saucer. Everyone: ??? * Yan Wuzhu was a notorious Demon Venerable, ruthless and an outright lunatic. To sever his karmic ties, he sought out Yuan Ai. At their first meeting, he thought the boy had been kept far too sheltered, as if the world’s malice had never touched him. He was only a mortal, but protecting him for a hundred years would be enough to repay the debt. As they spent more time together, however, Yan Wuzhu gradually realized that Yuan Ai seemed to... like him? Because Yuan Ai remembered all his preferences. Because Yuan Ai remembered all his daily habits. Because Yuan Ai... He was a mortal, but becoming Dao companions with him wouldn’t be out of the question. Yan Wuzhu’s ears quietly turned faintly red. He decided to shed his secret identity and propose to him as the Demon Venerable... Wait, why was Yuan Ai like this with everyone? Yan Wuzhu: ??? Wasn’t he supposed to be the only one? Yuan Ai: 0.0? Isn’t remembering everyone’s preferences just basic functionality for an S-Class all-purpose robot? [Reader's guide] 1. A Demon Venerable who talks himself into it, paired with a naturally devious all-purpose robot. 2. A plot-driven, feel-good power fantasy with a lighthearted, ridiculous tone and a little harem-style love-triangle drama. 3. Cover from Xiaohongshu: Li Shengsheng Coming-soon title break I Accidentally Killed Them All [Full Dive] Wu Lin was an infinite-world veteran. After clearing countless instances, he finally beat the game and received a promise from the System. He would go to a peaceful new world and live out the rest of his days in comfort. Then he opened his eyes to a landscape of ruins, filled with gunfire, explosions, monsters shrieking, and attacks ambushing him from the shadows. Wu Lin: “...” He seemed to have been tricked. But it wasn’t a big deal. The young man bent down, casually picked up a bamboo skewer from the ground, and thrust it clean through the head of a monster lunging at him. He stepped out of the shadows over the wreckage, the murky light of the sky reflected in his dark eyes. Being tricked didn’t matter. He could just kill them all. Phantomverse, currently the hottest full-dive extraction shooter online. It offered an exceptionally high degree of freedom, a dazzling array of weapons, gear, and skills. You needed skill, game sense, strategy, and luck to succeed. One day, a young player with a garbled name appeared in the game. Players: Normal. The System gives you random names like that. It’s a bot. He didn’t wear armor or a bulletproof vest. Players: Normal. Running around unarmored with a knife is pretty popular too. He only picked up food and water. Players: Normal. A clueless newbie who doesn’t know the value of loot and is starving. He passed right by high-value loot zones without even looking. Players: Normal. Either he has no map, or he’s completely blind. He didn’t use a gun. He just made do with whatever he found, using only melee weapons like bamboo skewers and bayonets. Players: Normal... right? The next second, he used a bamboo skewer to pierce an elite monster’s head, then wiped out a fully equipped squad with a dinner knife. Everyone and everything he encountered along the way was stabbed to death. Players: ??? Wait, is that normal?! Can a carbon-based life-form actually pull that off?! Wu Lin only realized later that he hadn’t been tricked. It was just a game. No wonder the gun wouldn’t fire. He had to open the menu first. Still, this kind of game brought back some fond memories. Just a little. Pei Jin was a former champion of every major battle royale tournament and is now one of Phantomverse’s top streamers. He had top-tier mechanical skills and tactical awareness.

Come on, finding rare loot with great luck is one thing, but how did he even manage to pick up this kind of teammate? Pei Jin:, v I didn’t pick him up. I lured him over by cooking for him every day.
